Sick/mat leave for serving

I am 20 weeks pregnant and due Mother's Day, I'm a full time server however my manager tells me he's going to cute down my hours because I'm pregnant my other manager tells me he can't do that... I'm just worried because I need all the hours I can get because my wage is only 8.90 per hour and mat/paternity leave is 55 percent of that .. I work about 35 hours a week my doctor will want me to take a sick leave when I'm further along due to my environment at work (heavy lifting , running around ect ) I'm just scared that my leave isn't going to be able to support myself and my baby I have a lot of bills ... Anyone have an information on this and other types of income I can receive when on my leave ? Thanks:)

I'm curious about this too. I'm a bartender, i got cut back from 5 days a week to 4. I make 10 dollars an hour. I'm gonna be going on my mat leave a month before my due date. They legally can't cut your hours because you're pregnant, but they usually find some other reason.. My boss told me we were over staffed. So I'm pretty mad because it effects my ei. He's also trying to force me to go on mat leave even earlier.. Pain in the butt!!

I work in an office. And I got cut from 40 hours to 30 hours and they refuse to bump me back up even though they've given 2 people with less seniority than me full time hours. My boss hates me pretty sure. Oh well. Sometimes companies just get away with the worst stuff.

There not allowed to cut your hours. Go with what the one boss says and talk to them. I'm 22 weeks and more than capable of working my job which is also very physically heavy. I'm a nurse, working 12 hour shifts. We are on our feet all day and a lot of lifting and turning patients etc. my doctor said too that I can work as long as I want until I feel uncomfortable!! We can do everything we were doing prior to becoming pregnant. Tell your boss your more than capable, do they think you have been slacking?

They legally can't cut your hours like that. If you can prove that they've given your hours to someone with less seniority you can go to the labour board and fight it. You might just try going over your bosses head to his/her boss.A pp mentioned that she was in an office. I think if you have an HR department you can file a grievance with them about this.

Legally he cannot cut your hours. It is only yours our your doctors decision to cut hours. I was a part time server/bar tender and full time office manager and my restaurant manager told me I had to work less bc I wasn't capable of doing what the other girls could do and I wasn't allowed to bar tend anymore so I called human rights and I won a discrimination case against him and received compensation.

I work in Human Resources and the only way your hours can be cut or you can be reassigned to other work is if you request it (with medical support) or if the work you're doing cannot be performed safely by a pregnant woman (such as work where you regularly have to lift 100 pound items as an example). Otherwise I would be having a conversation with either your manager or your HR department if you have one, and let them know that you are capable of doing the work the same as if you weren't pregnant. Ask them what concerns they have about the work you're doing, there is a lot of information out there and they may be working off of inaccurate information. You might be able to clear up some of those assumptions for them. Or they might be looking to cover themselves because they are afraid of a lawsuit if anything happens to you on the job. Or they might just be jerks.

He cannot cut your hours unless you ask him to due to illness or something. Also you won't need to take sick leave if you don't need to, your heavy lifting duties should be discussed with ur employer and if he's a good employer he won't make you do that otherwise you can get a med note saying u can't do that!

Im 20w2d due May 13 and Im also a server! I want to go down in hours to 4 days in Jan, 3 in Feb and March. Ive been at my place for 2 years. Will the reduction in hours affect my mat leave? I will have more than the 600 insurable hours by the time I go. My husband and I will be over the family supplement by about $1500. :( i am a little worried :(

better to get a sick note when your about 23 weeks saying you can't work due to the pregnancy and get the 15 weeks of sick leave then your mat leave will start right after and it will be based on your pay now. that's what I was hoping to do but I ended up in the hospital having surgery when 10 weeks pregnant. so I have to go back when I'm 25 weeks and work what I can then take mat leave as early as 8 weeks before my due date. but then I have to return to work when lo is 10 m old.
